weird problem with UILabel

[ahsan87]

I am using UILabel for custom cells in my UITableView. Heres all the code that I am using :

header file:

UILabel *timeLabels;
@property (nonatomic, retain) UILabel *timeLabels;

code file:

- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame reuseIdentifier:(NSString *)reuseIdentifier

    timeLabels=[[UILabel alloc] init];
    timeLabels.textAlignment=UITextAlignmentLeft;
    timeLabels.font=[UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:12];
    timeLabels.backgroundColor=[UIColor clearColor];
    timeLabels.textColor=[UIColor blueColor];

- (void) layoutSubviews

   frame=CGRectMake(boundsX+5, 5, 60, 45);
   timeLabels.frame=frame;

[timeLabels release]

I am getting the following error on timeLabels.frame=frame;

2011-08-08 12:44:07.290 EncameoApp[2014:707] -[NSCFString setFrame:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x136890
2011-08-08 12:44:07.361 EncameoApp[2014:707] *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[NSCFString setFrame:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x136890'

Which is pretty strange given that timeLabels is not a NSString, but rather a UILabel !

Can anyone please let me know what I missed here ? Thanks.

can you actually put all of your custom cell code, rather than only the snippets that you think is relevant?

Did you validate that the object referenced by

 instance 0x136890

is, indeed, an object of type UILabel? My guess is that it is not and that it is, in fact, an NSCFString type object.

Obviously, if that's the case, you will want to either share more code or do some debugging.

Just out of curiousity, wondering if you're compiling with LLVM and wondering if Xcode, itself, is able to give you any "hints" (read: warnings) about the source of this bug?

There are no curly braces around your methods so it is hard to tell where your
release statement is called.

It looks like your label release is outside any method in the body of the file.
Shouldn't that be in the dealloc method?
